The Humane Slaughter Association (HSA) is a UK-based, independent Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO). It is the only UK charity concerned exclusively in promoting the humane treatment of all food animals worldwide, including cattle, sheep, pigs, poultry, fish and minority species such as deer, during transport, at markets, slaughter, and killing for welfare reasons or disease control.

The HSA works through research, education, training and technical advances to bring real, practical and lasting improvements in food animal welfare.

Over the last 100 years, the HSA’s work has resulted in many significant improvements for food animals around the world and many of the reforms it has promoted are now taken for granted. Significant improvements continue to be achieved through working constructively alongside agricultural, meat industry, veterinary and other welfare and professional organisations.

The HSA relies on voluntary donations, subscriptions and legacies. With your support it will continue to make practical and lasting improvements to the welfare of all food animals. For more information about the HSA’s work call + 44 (0) 1582 831919, email [email protected] or visit www.hsa.org.uk.
